DomPerignon: Not going to happen because Obi is not going to be Atiku's running mate.
Atiku knows Obi is not an acceptable candidate in the north. Why isn't he? |
Politics › Re: Tambuwal Has Succeeded On Another Mission by grandstar(m): 1:34pm On Jan 01 |
DomPerignon: Giringori believes he has negotiated a future automatic slot as Atiku's running mate.
Atiku is not foolish and will never pick Obi as his running mate for Obi is widely seen as an islamaphobe and a staunch IPOB supporter across the north.
Atiku will be settling for an obscure politician from the South to be his running mate.
These of course are based on permutations that Atiku will clinch the ADC ticket which is not all certain as Buhari's cabal have since saturated the ADC and are keen on seeing Rotimi Amaechi clinch the ticket with an El Rufai as VP. Amaechi has been rumoured to have vowed to do a single term so as to pave way for a northern cabal candidate in 2031.
Note that it was the combo of Tambuwal and El Rufai who lured Atiku to the ADC .
Atiku only agreed because of Tambuwal who had played a Judas role in the past against his friend Wike in the PDP for the benefit of Atiku emerging as the party's candidate in the last elections.
Funny enough, Obidients have now began throwing an Obi/Tambuwal ticket forgetting that this was Wike's plan for 2023 until Tambuwal betrayed him and supported Atiku at the last minute.
If Tambuwal could do that to Wike whom everyone witnessed their unusual close political alliance and friendship for most if their tenures as governors of Rivers and Sokoto, how is this same Tambuwal going to ensure Obi emerges as the ADC flag bearer when Atiku is gunning for same ticket?
Desperation, blind ambition and stupidity has finally seen Obi fall for ADC and northern cabal's trap.
The irony here is that Obi's defection to ADC did not come as a surprise as anyone with at least 2 brain cells knew it will happen and we also knew Obi was reconciling with Atiku to make him his running mate again.
When a politician's next 3 moves are glaringly obvious that shows lack of strategy and direction.
Obi is an open book to all because he is a very pedestrian politician who is so desperate for national relevance. In Nigeria's political scene one must be Machiavellian in approach for there abound many Judases like Tambuwal.
My early prediction for who will be the candidate for the ADC still remains Amaechi with El Rufai as his running mate.
Atiku will contest as he is expected to but he will not announce Obi as his running mate .
Obi will get feelers before the primaries that Atiku had settled for another Southerner to be his running mate and its from there Obi will run away from the ADC. The only way that Obi can get elected is if he can become Atiku's running mate for 8 years. Afterwards, Atiku would nominate him as the presidential candidate and he would surely win. Obi does not want to serve his master for 8 years. Tinubu waited 8 years. Atiku is also old. I am not wishing him bad but it could fall unto his laps.. |

DomPerignon: Netanyahu and his co tribesmen know they have lost the west forever.
Instead of trying to rebuild their image by stop killing Palestinian women and children, their only plan is to stage terrorists attacks across the west and blame it on Muslims and Iran.
But no one is buying it and no one in the west is going to fight another senseless war for Greater Israel.
These people are vampires and I don't mean just for their addiction to blood sucking but just like vampires can not see their reflection on a mirror, so also are they not able to reflect on their actions and how others perceive them.
This is because their upbringing under their satanic religion has made them think they are above everyone and not answerable to the laws of the gentiles. Do you have any documented evidence of this? It is obviously farfetched. EDIT: I kust search Google and it some truth in it. It called a false flag operation. It does not means that all terrorist attacks are false flag attacks. |

God isn't to blame at all The Bible already predicted our time. We are the last days of these system of things. (Read Matthew 24: It foretold things would from bad to worse. This is not just Nigeria, but globally. (Read Matthews 24:1-43, 2 Timothy 3:1-5, 13) God should never be blamed for bad things. See below JOB:34:10-12 10 So listen to me, you men of understanding: It is unthinkable for the true God to act wickedly, For the Almighty to do wrong 11 For he will reward a man according to what he does And bring upon him the consequences of his ways. 12 For a certainty, God does not act wickedly The Almighty does not pervert justice. JAMES 1:13-15 13 When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone. 14 But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed* by his own desire. 15 Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn sin, when it has been carried out, brings forth death. If you want to know why bad things happen to good people, do yourself and read this article now: https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/wp20140701/why-do-bad-things-happen/ |

OlujobaSamuel: Where you hear Sey dem go restrict your account because of tax It was actually true but with your NIN now automatically your TIN numbers, it resolves the problem. I[b]n Nigeria, bank accounts for individuals deemed "taxable persons" are expected to face restrictions without a Tax Identification Number (TIN) as of January 1, 2026, as mandated by the Nigeria Tax Administration Act (NTAA), 2025. However, the process is largely automatic, and accounts for non-taxable individuals will not be restricted. [/b] |

OlujobaSamuel: I wonder oo where he got his gossip from It wasn;t a fallacy. I just searched on Google "Would bank accounts without TIN be restricted?" and got the results below: In Nigeria, bank accounts for individuals deemed "taxable persons" are expected to face restrictions without a Tax Identification Number (TIN) as of January 1, 2026, as mandated by the Nigeria Tax Administration Act (NTAA), 2025. However, the process is largely automatic, and accounts for non-taxable individuals will not be restricted. So, it wasn't something that I invented. However, now that the issue has your NIN automatically be your TIN number, the issue has been resolved. |
Politics › Re: New Tax Laws: Has Your Bank Account Been Restricted? by grandstar(op): 12:28pm On Jan 01 |
coputa: The planned restrictions was about TIN and that has been cleared because one's NIN number now serves as a tax number.
And all bank account holders has NIN,so, there's no more need to submit TIN,since their NIN number is now their tax identification number.
Therefore, there's no need for banks to restrict their customers accounts Thanks for the clarification. |
Romance › Re: Why I Dumped An Orphan Girl I Was Dating Recently by grandstar(m): 12:11pm On Jan 01 |
Goodmarlian: Early last month I met this girl on campus where I work in one of Lagos prestigious higher Instititions,the time I met her she was sick and had no one to support her, I was a bit okay financially so I bought her drugs and food steadily until she got better,her parents were late as she narrated to me and she was staying with her aunt and the aunt wasnt financially stable to sponsor her education so she really struggled In school to keep up,Infact the aunty wants her to drop out of school and face her hair dressing skill until when they are financially stable because it was becoming difficult for her but this girl stubbornly refused and insist she will continue with school which I felt was a courageous decision from her.
I really liked the girl and she herself was also In Love with me due to me being caring towards her,and we were really attached to each other however things got bad ever since she started working in one hair saloon inside campus, her female co-workers are beginning to Influence her negatively, I feel there is this coworker of hers that encourages her to start billing me heavily that I have money ,suddenly she started feeling entitled, if I give her money to go eat she no longer says thank you, she will just grab the money from me and move, sometimes she will deep her hands in my pocket and remove money which I really hate. I started to think I am training a baby tiger that will hurt me later.
One day I sat down and thought about my relationship with her, I removed the orphan sentiment and asked myself, what if I am in the same shoes with her will she consider me as a worthy partner? That was when I came to my senses,omo na so I decide to dump her shaparly,in the evening that day she called I refuse to pick, she waited for me in our usual spot I refuse to show up, she asked my friends to call me I refuse to go. Them she finally came to Confront me to ask me what happened I told her I am passing through a lot and needed space she left immediately, I noticed she was depressed throughout that week, I cannot use my money to train up an upcoming entitled gold digger that will later hurt me women are something else.
Google image My guy, i don't blame. I think it's best you call and advise her. Let her know why you chose to end the relationship. |

delishpot: I am judging by your words; showing you comment or not is irrelevant here You said protecting and defending murderers of innocent civilians and our security forces could be valid depending on the time and place? When is it ever okay for a group of people to surround your family and butcher them like rams and someone tells you don't demand justice and punishment cos at this time their actions are excusable? Unless you mean if the victims are christians or non Muslims then it's excusable cos that was what many Muslims thought in the begining until they started attacking mosques too. Prejudice, when very strong, blinds. Oshiomole as labour union leader frustrated OBJ's repeated attempts to slash fuel subsidies. Interestingly, when he became a governor, he realized that it actually cost the federal and state government a lot of money to provide the subsidies. He supported Jonathan's removal of the subsidies in 2012. Does that make him a hypocrite? No. He genuinely believed that subsidies did not cost any money to provide, hence, he saw it as cruel to remove it. There are many here who believe the subsidy was good, Once in office, their views may change, I have never supported the subsidy as I knew it was adversely affecting th economy. The painful thing about this Boko Haram war was that it should never have started, Had officials gone out of their way to placate their members. These types of wars never end. Had the government arrested the police men who executed their leader and hundreds of them or had the government invited them to Abuja to resolve matters, all these deaths could have been prevented. They wouldn't have spent 1% of the resources they expand in one year on this senseless war to resolve matters. When the insurgency first started, the Nigerian military was quite heavy handed. If a soldier was killed, they would round up a few people and kill them. Their bitter children or brothers would join Boko Haram to avenge their deaths. It was these extrajudicial killings and brutality by the army that made people hate and distrust them. What if the Sultan condemned these practices by the army, was he in the wrong back then? I don't know what comments he made but did it refer to something like this? It was only after the Islamists became far more brutal than the army did the communites begin to warm up to the military. I even chose to go through your response and it is obvious you're also prejudiced. You already assume that I support the murder of innocent people. I don't. The death of one person, is one too much. Life is sacred. I am apolitical. I don't vote. If I imagined myself as president, I would see those soldiers at the war from as though they were my own children. The death of a soldier, or them coming back as amputees pains me to the bones. If i were to ask what tribe I am from, you'd say "Hausa or Fulani." I am actually fully Yoruba. I have not spent up to 60 days in the North my entire life. I am also a Christian, a very conservative one. You have already prejudged, thinking I am a Muslim. |

These last minute deals before the new year seems to be to avoid the 30% capital gains tax that goes into effect tomorrow.
That 30% is way to high. I would have urged 20% at most. It is currently 10%.
The corporate tax at 25% is also high. I haven't even included the withholding tax of 10%
The OECD countries (rich nations club) has an average corporate tax rate of 23.5%. If the government truly wants to encourage Foreign Direct Invest, it should nothing higher than 19.5%.
Manufacturing Association of Nigeria said it should be 20%. |

Nextjs: Search about his response to the attack on boko haram.
Check what he said about them from 2009 to when Jonathan left office.
Secondly there is a connection between him and the rise of Jihadist in Nigeria.
He took over the caliphate and not up to 2 years we started seeing the rise of jahadist groups
And this Jihadist groups carried out attack that look likely to what we see in middle East.
And sultan has been to that country for years under special military operation.
What else do i know. I will not look it up. The primary reason why he is suspect is simply because he is a Northerner of Fulani stock. It is nothing but prejudiced. He is a Northerner, so, he must support Boko Haram and the Bandits. How will people love those who make their lives a nightmare? It is like saying Igbos living in the East love sit-at-home Mondays, that they love those who keel those who open shop? Whatever statements the Sultan made may have been relevant for its time.
